Early Block novels that bear (admittedly) the notable influence of publisher Knox Burger. Written in that period for Block between total blatant sex rags and very serious (scary as hell) crime nevels. Although Block's writing still shows an unpolished talent, the books themselves are very entertaining. I never wanted to search a bathroom trash can for a tossed out wallet until I read these books... I must admit I had never heard of the "Waterloo" before these books... Chip Harrison is living the life man...
The first novel, "No Score" has a minor loss to front cover. Light wear to edges and spines. While these are not perfect copies, the set is complete and in collectible condition.
